We have mentioned Pocket Informant here several times in the past. And for those who may have missed those mentions, Pocket Informant is a calendar and task application that is available for multiple mobile platforms including iOS, Android and the BlackBerry.

But perhaps the reason that this guy likes Pocket Informant is because it syncs and plays nicely with Google Calendar and Toodledo. That being said, it looks like the folks at WebIS are taking things a step further and have introduced a new offering — Pocket Informant Online. The new service is set to debut in February as a publicly available beta.

Pocket Informant Online will be priced at $15 per year as an introductory offer and then go up to $25 per year as the regular price. According to the description, Pocket Informant Online has been in development for “quite some time” and it will allow you to have “all your PI data synced in the same location.”

Breaking this down a bit further and WebIS is touting this as “complete mobile organization” with features to include calendar, tasks and sync.

Replacing the need for the old style paper planners, or your kitchen wall calendar, our full-featured PIM offers at-a-glance organization! With the available customization choices, you can set your information to show as much or as little as you wish. This calendar is a must have tool for everyone, from the person who just needs a little organizational help, to the power user.
Add Events easily with just a few taps of a button.
Choose from Year, Month, Week, Day, List and Today views. Each view is customizable to your specifications.
Filter your Events per view
Comprehensive collection of icons available for your Events
Tasks are completely viewable and editable in the Calendar views.
Comprehensive collection of pre-made Task Groups.
Pre-made filters allow you to quickly find your Tasks.
This is another addition to our great family of productivity software, enabling users to access their information anytime and anywhere.
This is our own private sync service that will support iOS, Android, Outlook, and a future Mac OS X Desktop version.
Sync the entire Pocket Informant Calendar, Task, Notes, and Settings between your iOS and Android devices and in the future, Mac Desktop.

All said and done, while I am interested in seeing how well the service works — I will say that I am not entirely convince that this is something I need to spend any additional money on. Then again, having the Calendar and Tasks together in one service could be nice. Anyway, in the meantime, check out the screenshots below.
